Reflection Paper On Counseling

Rebecca Nurse and I share our religious beliefs. Rebecca shows her religious belief by never telling a lie. She was accused of witchcraft through killing Ann Putnam’s babies. She did not want to admit that she was a witch and wind up in jail which goes against her beliefs. A way that I show my religion is by

Rebecca and I have logical ways of thinking, making our lives simpler and smarter. Along with being kindhearted to children, her ways with them are rational too. Her experience with them has increased her mindset when dealing with them. For example, when The Crucible began, the girls were caught dancing in the woods, following with Betty and Ruth lying in bed for an extensive period of time. No one knew why they would not wake up and thought of every possibility, until witchcraft came into conversation. First, Rebecca and Francis Nurse went to visit Betty Parris to see what had happened. When she arrived, Betty starting screaming at the sound of her father praying. Rebecca calmly walked over to Betty and sat down next to her. She did not say or

There are many theoretical models of counseling. Often, a diverse approach or the use of several approaches is best for the resolution of problems. I utilize several different theories and strategies in my role as a counselor. However, it is the Individual personal theory and the Family theory model that anchors my orientation to counseling as a Christian counselor.

Values, Morals, and Beliefs are components that play a role in an individual’s self-identity. The establishment of these components shape human nature, behavior, and the development of an individual’s purpose. The basis of these fundamentals has contributed to my desire to become a counselor. This paper will discuss my views of human nature, factors of behavior changes, goals of therapy, the roles of a therapist, and the counseling approaches that I chose to incorporate in a practice.

Even in the end she dies to keep her faith pure. ¨Let you fear nothing! Another judgement waits us all!¨ (Rebecca

Rebecca is not only wise, but she is faithful too. She never confesses to what she did not do and she never condemns others. Both of which would have been against her faith. She even tries to help others keep their faith when she says, “Let you fear nothing! Another judgment waits us all!” (Miller 1333). This quote shows that she not only has faith in God, but that she knows He will judge her after her death. She shows her faith in Him by being willing to die to remain honest and true to herself. She also shows her faith in Him by not condemning others when it could have saved her

As a counseling student, it is very important to formulate a counseling theory tailored to ones’ own personality and beliefs. A counselor may choose a single theory to model when practicing therapy or pick and choose components and techniques from various theories, otherwise known as eclecticism. No theory is considered right or wrong. Understanding the different therapeutic approaches are important to effective counseling, however, counselors must also understand their own personal value, view of human nature, human behavior, counseling techniques and the purpose and goals of counseling. Understanding these components along with the different theoretical approaches will provide the counselor with a 9 knowledge of their own counseling, orientation and is essential to not only the productivity of counseling but the growth of the counselor as well.

It takes a special person to become a school counselor and in doing so it is important to take those life skills, knowledge, dispositions, and background experiences to help along the way. In the counseling field there are some guidelines and theories that will help, but nothing that prepares you for what may happen at any moment or any time during the day. It is clear that life definitely throws some unexpected curve balls and that is the same for situations in the field of school counseling. You never know what situation you will run into and in order to dodge those curve balls it is those life experiences that often time influence the direction in which we take both personally and professionally. It is important to compile all the knowledge and experiences that we have gained throughout life and apply them in a way that will help others to be successful. It is key to reflect on the past and those skills that I have that will lead me to become an effective professional school counselors.

p.127 Rebecca is a pillar of the church and if she is given the opportunity to speak then she will show the town what a righteous woman she is by her prayers and then the town will turn on those that have condemned these righteous and respectable people.

Rebecca is being compared to the foundation of the church; therefore, she is very important to the church community. The “good soul” Hale had heard of in Beverly is

“Oh, my God,...You thought I loved Rebecca?...You thought I killed her, loving her? I hated her, I tell you, our marriage was a farce from the very first. She was vicious, damnable, rotten through and through. We never loved eachother, never had one moment of happiness together. Rebecca was incapable of love, of tenderness, of decency. She was not even normal.”(275).

I am writing in behalf of Ms. Katie Gendaszek. Katie and I have known each other for two years. Our relationship started when I was a social studies teacher at Elmwood Middle School and she was a school counseling intern in the Elementary. With Elmwood only have one licensed school counselor for over 1,200 students, Ms. Gendaszek certainly had her hands full. While at Elmwood, I observed her take the initiative in setting up group counseling sessions for students during lunch. I saw her develop and form relationships with students that are still be fulfilled through volunteer work in the Elmwood community to this day.

This paper explores my counseling theory. It looks at the way I view human nature and the development of personality through the lens of an elementary school counselor. This paper looks at the development of psychopathology and the goals of therapy using fundamental cognitive behavioral theory (CBT) and techniques used in CBT and person centered therapy (PCT). Researched is used to advocate for my use of child center play therapy (CCPT) along with taking a look at reality therapy (RT) for use with the older elementary students . I conclude with a look at spiritual influences on my future counseling career. Throughout the paper I reference the American School Counselors Association (ASCA) and its national model to help tie in the theories and practices with the guidelines of being a school counselor.

"Against you? Against him and all authority! Why, then I must find it and join it. He does not mean that. He confessed it now! I mean it solemnly, Rebecca; I like not the smell of this "authority. " No, you cannot break charity with your minister. You are another kind, John. Clasp his hand, make your peace." (27-28) She is an example of strength and resolve for those who choose not to confess, even though it means going to their death.

Rebecca makes her own decisions, even if in a patriarchal society women were supposed to be subservient to the men in their family. For instance, when the mother and brother of Rebecca ask her to stay for ‘a week or ten days’, Rebecca says that she would like to go with the servant of Abraham to Isaac (Gen. 24.55-59). Rebecca knows what she wants to do and doesn’t let others influence her decision. She is very independent and willing to take risks. As shown through how women
